NY Times Confirms Roberts Adoption Inquiry
The New York Times is acknowledging that it made "initial inquiries"
into whether there was anything "irregular" in the adoptions of Supreme
Court nominee Judge John Roberts' children, ages four and five.
But in a statement published late Thursday night, the paper's public
editor denied launching a full blown investigation. 
"We did not order up an investigation of the adoptions," Public Editor
Joe Plambeck insisted, in response to a firestorm of controversy over
the Drudge Report's claim earlier in the day that just such a probe had
been launched.
Quoting an unnamed senior editor, Plambeck admitted, however, that the
Times did look into the Roberts's children, saying, "We have not pursued
the issue after the initial inquiries, which detected nothing irregular
about the adoptions."
Plambeck hinted that Times executive editor Bill Keller may have played
a role in nixing the probe, explaining that the top Timesman "told us
that he would not stand for any gratuitous reporting about the Roberts's
children."
"[Keller] said that as an adoptive parent he is particularly sensitive
about this issue."
Plambeck's denial first appeared on columnist Michelle Malkin's web
site, and was issued in response to complaints from her readers."
